A serious work injury can put your health and your paycheck at risk at the same time. If you were hurt on the job in Steelton, we help you claim the medical care and wage loss benefits Pennsylvania law provides.
For more than 34 years, Lerner, Steinberg & Associates has fought for injured workers across Pennsylvania, and you work directly with Mike Lerner or Ben Steinberg on every case, never a paralegal. Steelton is part of our Dauphin County workers’ compensation practice, one of the many areas we serve across the Harrisburg region. There is no fee unless we win.
Steelton has been a working river town for more than 150 years, built around the steel and metal-fabrication operations that still run along the Susquehanna riverfront today. Between the mill itself, the warehouses and rail lines that move its output, and the shops and trades along South Front Street and Route 230, a work injury here can come from heavy machinery, molten metal, or a simple fall on a loading dock. Whatever the cause, Pennsylvania workers’ compensation is meant to cover your treatment and part of your wages while you heal.
We handle every kind of work injury for Steelton workers, including the following.
Burns, machinery entanglement, and crush injuries at the borough’s steel and metal-fabrication operations along the riverfront.
Lifting strain, forklift accidents, and falls at warehouses and distribution points along Route 230 and I-283.
Injuries among workers moving materials by rail along Steelton’s active freight lines.
Falls, equipment failures, and struck-by injuries on building sites and road crews in and around the borough.
Carpal tunnel and joint damage that build up from repeated motion on the job or at a desk.
Falls on wet floors, ice, and uneven surfaces that cause fractures, head injuries, and back damage.
Your employer’s insurance must pay for the care and wage replacement you are owed after a work injury, whether it happened on the mill floor, in a warehouse, or on a rail siding. Benefits include all reasonable and necessary medical treatment and wage loss benefits equal to about two-thirds of your average weekly wage. Specific loss benefits for the permanent loss or loss of use of a body part carry particular weight in manufacturing injuries involving hands, fingers, or hearing, and families of workers killed on the job are entitled to death benefits. You only have to show that you were hurt while working.
Insurers deny and cut off valid claims all the time, and mill and warehouse injuries are often disputed on causation grounds, with an insurer arguing the injury was pre-existing or unrelated to a specific incident. If your benefits were denied or stopped, you can challenge that decision through a denial of benefits appeal and a workers’ comp hearing before a judge. We build the medical and wage evidence and stand with you through the whole process. We also handle repetitive stress injury and occupational disease claims, including hearing loss and respiratory conditions common in industrial settings, that insurers often fight hardest.
Pennsylvania sets firm deadlines, and missing one can end your right to benefits.
You can review the official program through the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry, then call us for guidance on your own claim.
For more than three decades, Mike Lerner and Ben Steinberg have handled workers’ compensation cases for people throughout Steelton and the surrounding mill and warehouse communities, and they work on every claim personally. In one recent case, we recovered $316,500 for an assembly line worker injured on the job, and we bring that same preparation to every manufacturing and industrial claim we take on. They know how insurers value injuries and how to push for the full medical care and wage loss benefits the law allows, and we work on a contingency basis, so you owe no fee unless we win.
If you were hurt on the job in Steelton, we are ready to review your claim and tell you honestly where you stand. Contact Lerner, Steinberg & Associates today for a free consultation.
